Answer by Dr. Ru: About Malaspray usage in lactation

Significantly less Malaspray penetrated from Ovide after 0.5 h versus the suggested 8 h application, without decreasing the product’s efficacy. Avoid applying it on the breast or nipple. Otherwise, cleanse it thoroughly before nursing.

Answer by DrLact: About Malaspray usage in lactation

Malaspray appears to be poorly absorbed after topical application, so it is not likely to reach the breastmilk in large amounts. However, breastmilk excretion of Malaspray has not been studied after application of the 0.5% lotion. Until more data become available, an alternate agent is preferred.[1]
